Openly Gay Jared Polis Wins

LARIMER COUNTY -- Boulder Democrat Jared Polis will retain
his seat in the U.S. House, defeating conservative Berthoud Republican Kevin
Lundberg for the newly reconfigured Congressional District 2.

“It looks like the people have spoken and it looks like they've chosen results
over ideology,” Polis said shortly after watching election results from Larimer
County come in.
“Our message of opportunity and hope resonates with voters.”
The congressman's widest margin is in Boulder County, where he's leading 75
percent to 21 percent over Lundberg, with nearly half of anticipated ballots
cast reported.
